Hi Sven,
Yes i have the pegasos 1 with April 2 fix.
I found even on the 2.4.27 kernel i had dma corruption, it was quite
annoying.
I tested/modifyed geri patches to build on the 2.6.8 kernel, i have to say
it has made a difference.
DMA turned on and no corruption so far, large files over network and local
HD.

Unless he does have one of the pre-april boards, this should not be a
problem
on the pegasos, i long used a pegasos 1 as always on-email gateway,
X/web/mail
machine for my wife, and d-i autobuilder, with uptimes > 2 month or so
(well,
i think i reached 4 month and only switched the box off when upgrading
kernel
or when my wife accidentally hit the reset button instead of the cd-eject
one
:). True i had only 128MB of good quality ram in the machine though, but i
never experienced data corruption, and as said, we hardware patched the
articia to solve this problem, even though the MAI guys refused to admit
their
chip was buggy.
Friendly,
Sven Luther
